LONDON - Hugh Grant is best known for playing the bumbling Englishman in romantic comedies so when the role of a cockney-accented private investigator in Guy Ritchie’s new crime caper came up, the actor was a little hesitant to portray someone so different.
“I thought, I’m 59 now. Is it too ludicrous to suddenly be this guy completely from the other side of the tracks with a full-on London accent? Guy said ‘No, no, no, no. You can do it. You can do it. Just own it.’ So I went for it.” Ritchie found fame with “Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels” and “Snatch” before directing “Sherlock Holmes” and Disney’s live-action version of “Aladdin.”“This is a script I wrote 15 years ago ... The genesis of it was ... from a while ago and it just felt like now was the time to make it.”
